John Travolta and his pregnant wife Kelly Preston are to name their unborn baby boy Benjamin.

Preston is due to give birth at the end of November – after her husband returns from celebrations to mark the 90th anniversary of Qantas airline in Australia.

Celebrity pilot Travolta, Qantas’ Ambassador-at-Large, has flown his personal Boeing 707 to Sydney for the 10-day multi-city event. Preston was not able to join him.

The actor touched down in Brisbane on Monday (local time) and performed a rousing rendition of “Happy Birthday” with company staff and Queensland fans who turned out to see the star.

Travolta told the gathered crowd at Brisbane Airport his flight Down Under had been largely trouble free, adding, “but we did hit a rainstorm which came outta nowhere.”

After posing for photos with Qantas CEO Alan Joyce, he answered questions from fans and agreed to “adopt” one devotee and her husband.

He ended his visit by performing a rendition of “Summer Nights” from “Grease,” and was presented with cuddly koala and kangaroo toys for his son, adding, “He is due to be born in 19 days.” He then revealed the couple would be calling their newborn Benjamin.

The couple has a daughter named Ella Bleu, 10. The Travoltas lost their 16-year-old son Jett after he suffered a fatal seizure at their holiday home in the Bahamas in January, 2009.

John Travolta and his pregnant wife, Kelly Preston, are expecting a baby boy, the stars’ publicist has revealed.

The couple announced it was expecting a third child in May, and Preston, 47, prepared for the impending birth by gathering with loved ones for a baby shower bash at the Beverly Hills Peninsula hotel in Los Angeles on Friday.

Now, Star magazine – the publication that scooped the baby news – has revealed the Travoltas are expecting a son.

The couple lost its first-born son Jett at the beginning of 2009 after he suffered a seizure and died at the family’s retreat in the Bahamas. He was 16.

John Travolta and his wife, Kelly Preston, are in awe of the actress’ “miracle” pregnancy because they have been trying to conceive for years.

The actor confirmed Preston was pregnant last month, just over a year after their 16-year-old son Jett died following a seizure.

Last week, a representative for the Hollywood couple was forced to deny tabloid reports Preston was expecting twins, and the Travoltas insist falling pregnant with one baby is a blessing in itself.

They tell People magazine, “We tried for several years, and we didn’t think it was going to happen for us. This is a miracle and we feel blessed.”

Preston’s half brother, Chris Palzis, reveals the news couldn’t have come at a better time for the family after months of mourning the loss of Jett.

He says, “They are over the moon. … This is the best thing to happen to the family in a long time.”

The “Pulp Fiction” actor revealed Preston is three months pregnant last week, marking the end of a devastating period which began with the death of their teenage son Jett last year and ended with an airport tragedy in Maine earlier this month, which claimed the lives of the family’s two pet dogs.

Travolta’s “Look Who’s Talking” co-star Kirstie Alley was the first to coo about the news, writing in a post on her Twitter page, “YAY!!! SOOOOO happy for them!!! YAY!!!”

And now messages of support have flooded in from the actor’s former co-stars Hugh Jackman, Christopher Walken and Lori Loughlin.

Jackman, who starred with Travolta in “Swordfish,” says, “I’m very thrilled for him. I know John – he’s an amazing dad and so that’s one lucky kid. I’m very, very, very happy for them. Very excited.”

John Travolta has confirmed reports his wife, Kelly Preston, is pregnant.

Preston, 47, is three months pregnant, according to weekly magazine Star, and her happy husband has taken to his website to coo about the big news.

He writes, “It’s impossible to keep a secret … especially one as wonderful as this. We want to be the first to share this great news that we are expecting a new addition to our family.”

The news marks the end of a devastating period for the Travoltas, which began with the death of their teenage son, Jett, last year and ended with an airport tragedy in Maine last week, which claimed the lives of the family’s two dogs. The dogs were run over by a service vehicle while they were being walked after a flight.

The man charged with conspiring to extort $25 million from John Travolta after the death of the star’s son has appealed for help to pay his legal fees, because he has been unable to work since the case began.

Paramedic Tarino Lightbourne, along with former Bahamas senator Pleasant Bridgewater, is said to have demanded the cash from the Travolta and his wife, Kelly Preston, after their 16-year-old son Jett suffered a fatal seizure at the family’s holiday home in January 2009.

The allegations center around a Refusal of Treatment/Transportation form, signed by Travolta, which the suspects allegedly threatened to release to the media.

In October, a mistrial was declared after a jury member reportedly leaked the verdict to politicians, and a retrial has since been set for September.

Outside of court on Wednesday, Lighthouse revealed he hasn’t worked since the allegations were made against him.

He made an open appeal for help paying his legal fees, insisting he’s struggling to support his family and his home has gone into foreclosure.

He tells TMZ.com, “Financially I haven’t worked for a year now, since this case started. Everything has backed up now — my house is in foreclosure.

“My kids, it’s hurting everybody and I’m appealing to the general public for some financial assistance to assist me with my attorney fees.”

John Travolta landed a plane in Haiti on Monday to personally deliver supplies to survivors in the earthquake-ravaged nation.

The “Pulp Fiction” star touched down in the Boeing commercial jet with his actress wife, Kelly Preston, a number of relief volunteers and 80 medics.

The plane was also stocked with food and medical supplies.

And Travolta has heaped praise on Qantas Airlines bosses for lending him the passenger plane to make the mercy mission possible.

He says, “I want to thank Qantas Airlines and (its chief executive) Alan Joyce. Alan is allowing me to fly the Boeing 707 that’s sitting in the backyard, fill it with supplies, fill it with doctors, fill it with volunteer ministers, and take it down to Haiti on Monday – so thank you, thank you, thank you!”

It’s the second relief trip Travolta has organized for Haiti. The actor dug deep to arrange for a plane to carry volunteers to the country just days after the devastating tremor.

John Travolta struggled to control his jealousy when wife Kelly Preston filmed love scenes with Tom Cruise and Kevin Costner – because it was “hard to watch” his partner in bed with Hollywood’s sexiest stars.

The “Pulp Fiction” star, who has been married to Preston for 18 years, hates seeing his wife get intimate on-screen.

But he breathed a sigh of relief when she partnered up with funnyman Robin Williams for their new movie “Old Dogs” – because he’s such a close pal of the actor.

He says, “I have been jealous of many of her co-stars. I didn’t like her making love to Tom Cruise. I didn’t like her making love to Kevin Costner in ‘Love of the Game.’ It was hard to watch. All I can say is thank God for Robin. I adore Robin so it was OK with him.”
